There were some similar questions on r/functionalprogramming subreddit. Maybe there's something useful there? Search for "teach" or "class" I think, e.g.

- "How would you teach a group of 9th graders functional programming?" https://old.reddit.com/r/functionalprogramming/comments/avcr...

- "I want to teach programming via functional paradigm to someone with no background" https://old.reddit.com/r/functionalprogramming/comments/egzz...
Could be, but the wording is super vague and obscure, though.

The 2006 paper "Out of the Tar Pit" also disagrees with Brooks' estimate of total accidental complexity, explaining their position in terms of {essential,accidental} {state,control}. One of their arguments is that accidental (derived) state has a magnifying effect on complexity, so a first-order goal of any software architecture should be to reduce accidental state as far as possible -- and arguably, centralize the remaining essential state as much as possible.

It somewhat puts the old saying in another light: "There are two hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation and naming things." Cached state is, effectively, another name for derived state.
It seems like this was his whole position on margin, rather than bringing them back to the margin maintenance which isn't normal.
That’s not how laws work. Just because you personally see a way it can be philosophically generalized or conceptually generalized does not mean laws apply the same to all generalizations. Brokers, exchanges, investment firms, banks, etc., all have specific legal obligations based on different types of fiduciary duty, different service offerings, etc. It can easily be the case that an exchange entity has a legal ability to deny access through delisting while a broker entity does not have the right to deny service in some particular scenario.

I am not saying what the case is for brokers today, but regardless, appealing to some notion of proof by contradiction because of generalizing a behavior is not a valid way to analyze the situation.
>So CentOS and Elastic aren't open source anymore.

CentOS is still open source. Nothing is happening to the sources themselves. It's the work of taking those sources, stripping trademarks, building artifacts and distributing them as a near identical-clone of RHEL which is ending. Or at least, Red Hat doing that work at their own expense is ending.

"Rocky" and "Alma" linux are picking up that work themselves, nothing prevents that from happening.
I'm pretty sure that at this point, software just naturally gets bigger and more bloated as time goes on. Reverse entropy or something.

As someone from a "cheaper country", a crazy amount of these jobs dries out when they figure that they'll need to deal with your tax/labor law employment situation.

The problem is that if big short sellers like Melvin Capital go under that their counterparties are the brokers that will be ultimately holding most of the bag.

This is what I couldn't understand about what the endgame of this would have to be. Because you can't really have a situation where all the shares are bought up sending the shares to infinity. At some point something breaks. Someone has to pay money for those shares.

That could be that retail investors bolt for the door just like a bubble popping and because its difficult to maintain steadiness when you're looking at huge gains that aren't realized. And that is what they thought would happen.

What would be more reasonable would be to liquidate Melvin Capital and anyone stupid enough to invest in them and the holders of GME shares would become creditors against that bankruptcy proceeding somehow. SEC would have to manage that unwinding somehow.

But the problem is that the clearinghouses like Citadel are counterparties to Melvin Capital and they've privately bailed them out, taken over their shorts and will now hugely profit by suspending trading and riding those short positions down. This now entirely makes sense to me as what was inevitable, because while WSB was trying to destroy Melvin Capital they didn't understand that the implications of that were going to be destroying the clearinghouses through counterparty risk. And they were never going to let that happen, so they shut it all down and will eat the SEC investigation.

This is a very interesting outcome just due to the moral hazard it creates with shorting.

It is also a very interesting outcome because a lot of "little guys" just learned an object lesson in what happens when it looks like you are beating the "big guys". They won't let that happen. There's going to be a lot of political rage as a result of this. We're going to have to make a decision in the next 10 years or so if we'd like to funnel that rage towards socialism or fascism, the status quo is going to continue to enrage people.

Jitsi is open source, so you can look at the exact mechanics of their billing counter to answer your question:

It's all orchestrated from here:
https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/react/featur...

Which generates the MAU ID via:

react/features/billing-counter/functions.js:80

/*
* Returns the stored billing id (or generates a new one if none is present).
*
* @returns {string}
*/

export function getBillingId() {

let billingId = jitsiLocalStorage.getItem(BILLING_ID);

if (!billingId) {

For most universities, find the general catalogue or equivalent, which will list courses, often major / graduate requirements by department, course numbers, offer dates, and frequently, teaching faculty.

For Stanford https://explorecourses.stanford.edu/

Across the bay, it's http://guide.berkeley.edu/courses/

Plugging in course numbers, restricted to domain, and keywords "syllabus", "assigned reading", or similar, often works. I'm not above emailing faculty or departments directly.

Readings, especialy in graduate courses, often comprise of articles rather than standard texts. For these, a course-specific reference (syllabus) is often necessary.
I have no problem with individuals or fiduciaries investing on short time horizons because they believe they understand something fundamental the next guy doesn't. But mass coordinated speculation isn't that; it's using a mob to affect the underlying system for profit -underlying equity be damned.

And for all those that say "well Wall St has been doing that for years"...fine, let's address that too. Financial regulations are essentially a history lesson of past failure we've tried to correct. Let's be consistent.

Robinhood was just hit with class action lawsuit over this:

The financial trading app Robinhood is been hit with a federal class action lawsuit after it restricted trades to stocks popular on the Reddit forum r/WallStreetBets, sending Redditors and app users into a meltdown.

The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of New York on Thursday, alleges that the app “purposefully, willfully, and knowingly removing the stock ‘GME’ from its trading platform in the midst of an unprecedented stock rise, thereby deprived [sic] retail investors of the ability to invest in the open-market and manipulating the open-market.”

No, it's nothing of the kind. It's not alright, it's not a general interchange format for images that you can trust, and the specification isn't complete or correct in any case.
Data structures and object protocols are the analog to file formats and network protocols. They're not immutable but unless you want software changes to affect everything, you want something at least a bit more stable
Agreed, wasn't trying to claim that it would, just pointing out that network effects are not about inspiration, mainly.
IDK why someone downvoted you. Thanks for these thoughts.

I guess I would only add the distinction that you're discussing "comprehension with the purpose of making a decision about a situation around a system". But sometimes we legitimately want to build comprehension without yet having a specific purpose or decision (e.g. when onboarding a team with an existing code base, or trying to understand how a technique works), but even then reading is a tempting but inadequate path to building understanding.
As was reported, the capital raise Melvin received wasn't 30% of their total AUM even after the GME losses. And even if it were, it was also reported that Citadel and Point72 received non-controlling revenue share.
That it should be up to congress and law enforcement - people that are accountable to the public, to make these rules.

Everything about what twitter did was stupid. They let him talk for years, and then finally stopped him at the worst time. They cancelled him when there was little more damage he could do and ruined ideas of free speech neutrality and it allowed his ilk to claim censorship and it helped with making him a martyr. Just absolute stupidity.

Letting corporations deal with dangerous thought leaders is not a solution that has even the slimmest chance of working.
Framed another way, can a broker prevent the purchase or sale of stock to bias the asset's movement in a particular direction to benefit themselves or a friendly third party?

Of course not. This is any number of SEC violations
One form of true insanity is probably JPEG-encoded TIFF files. Apparently it's so bad that for the next version of the TIFF specification they are taking that insane approach out completely.

I can't do justice to the article on TIFF's problems with JPEG (http://www.simplesystems.org/libtiff/TIFFTechNote2.html), but my understanding is that:

1) Some JPEG-specific data is moved outside of the actual JPEG bitstream tag, and into separate TIFF tags, making editing JPEG-in-TIFF files non-trivial. 2) Size is not encoded in some of these fields, so the TIFF editor you're writing will have to partially implement a JPEG decoder just to know the size of some of those TIFF tags, and 3) Some tags/fields are pointers into other parts of the TIFF file, meaning if you edit the file, you'll have to update the file in many places.

(As a quick aside on insane formats, may I also mention the EPWING dictionary format?)
No, you are making bold claims providing no evidence whatsoever. I can also just start spewing unfounded opinions that the illuminati are trying to defraud r/WSB. Everyone can do that.

You are going around parroting the same stuff everywhere and making zero effort to at least provide links to credible sources to support your claim.

I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm saying that if you want people to take you seriously (as opposed to looking like a shill), you have to do more than spam every possible discussion.

Honestly, I think it would have made some amount of sense to make super a method defined on the base object so that

def __init__(self, x, y):
self.super(x, y)

A stock market is a high stakes gambling system. The smart and the powerful win. You'll never limit winners to just the smart. If you someone did for a period of time, those smart people would become powerful and decide to limit other smart people.

But so what if you did allow just smart people win? Most people aren't that smart and you'd wind-up with a fleecing. So making this game fair isn't particularly in the average not-genius-with-nerves-of-steel person's interests. It's more in the average person's interests to have an index-traded-funds go up a reliable amount each year.

Fleecing Reddit geeks isn't fleecing everyone in America.

Edit: My point is - sure it might be against the rules but this affair is between smart speculators and big speculators. Saying it's crime against everyone is ridiculous.
The company that owns Robinhood is the same company that was shorting all the GME stocks.
> "close positions they currently hold, but not open new positions. That is not the same as only allowing people to sell shares"

Since RH doesn't allow shorting, the only way to close a position is by selling shares. So yes, it is exactly the same as only allowing people to sell shares.
Not just Reddit. It's here too. It's wild to see people being whipped into a frenzy in real time.

I'm following the discussions a bit, lots of comments by people spreading conspiracy theories, comments asking for evidence are just downvoted, or met by the conspiracy theorist's favorite, "do your research", comments spreading disinformation like "citadel owns robinhood" with a tweet as the only source, people who have no idea how market functions talking about "naked shorting", etc. The disinformation spreads faster than it takes to rebut it.
Wish I could remember why not :). I know now, but the muscle memory sticks.
So Melvin Capital got a few billion from Citadel after the reddit short squeeze started? And we're not supposed to think anything about that is shady?

And there is no proof Melvin cut their losses. There is no way to know for sure. The shorts are still there, whether they're Melvin or anyone else.
> From what I recall the 2016 election was frequently attributed to some vague accusation of hacking from Russia but the same standard was not applied at the time, nor is it applied today. The people espousing this view were eventually proven inconclusive in all the different inquiries into the matter, and they were far more influential than a man who sells pillows.

Your recollection seems at odds with reality. There has been a Senate inquiry with conclusions at odd with your recollections. The Mueller report came to conclusions at odd with your recollections. A reminder: that report, while not indicting the president or his team in anything in particular, found what it considered incontrovertible evidence of Russian interference designed to favor the election of Trump. The Senate report came to the same conclusions, even more strongly stated.

As for your claim that the people espousing this view being "far more influential than a man who sells pillows", I think you'd need to establish a metric for "influential", since it is far from clear precisely what you mean.

Furthermore, the sense that some people had regarding Russian interference in the 2016 elections never resulted in violence or death (certainly not directly). Nobody claimed that the election had been "stolen" (that's a direct quote from a large number of people regarding the 2020 elections). There was just a sense of unease and disquiet that the election may not have been fair but the result was accepted anyway.
That is entirely up to the broker. They make no guarantees to you that they'll underwrite your risk taking with no limits. If you don't want this to happen, go to a reputable broker and make sure you are not trading on margin. This is not rocket science, but does require a basic level of understanding.
> RobinHood wouldn't care or know anyway. Why would they care that a market maker is having a bad day? Why inconvenience their clients while other brokers keep serving theirs? For all they know, the market maker is too far long and would really appreciate offloading some inventory.

RobinHood's business model appears to be getting kickbacks directly from the market maker (Citadel Securities apparently), so of course they care if the market maker is unhappy because that's their own profits they are eating. The fact that the discount broker and the market maker are so buddy buddy is the extremely shady but currently very legal problem.

(Supposedly Citadel Securities at this point is the same market maker putting the same pressure on at least TD Ameritrade in this specific list.)
> The parent wants the project to do that so that s/he does not have to fork it him/herself.

That doesn't make a lot of sense. To create a pull request, one must have already done the work to fork the repo themselves. The pull request is an offer to contribute that work back. If the project owners cannot or do not wish to do the work to even triage pull requests, that's fine, but in that case it's pretty clear that a public GitHub repo is the wrong place to be.

I am curious what the average holding is for GME. $100 * 2 million WSB subscribers is $200m to make a stock go to $24b market cap. That isn’t a lot of cash. People are posting screenshots with $10k+ holdings on WSB. Monday volume indicates a massive amount of stock movement.

Pretty awesome that tamale truck has a facebook page https://www.facebook.com/hottamales76
Especially in states like California. My rich friends can and continue to travel. My friends in the service sector are at home collecting a meager unemployment. It doesn’t jibe well with the ethos CA proudly proclaims. They shutdown outdoor dining and even playgrounds while Costco, Amazon warehouses and Best Buy can be packed. We also know and have data that masks work but salons were closed. (A case in Texas comes to mind where a barber had covid but didn’t pass it to any of the 45 clients because they wore masks). What was way more important was good ventilation and indoor masking.

In general social psychology have to be factored in as well. Anecdotally speaking, shutting down outdoor dining pushed more people to party at home.
> what is anti-fascist about antifa

Antifa is an anarchist direct action movement that tries to deny Fascist groups the ability to organize by basically beating the crap out of them when they try to get together.

"Fascist" isn't a synonym for "politics I don't like".
More like they wanted to preempt possible sanctions from the SEC for failing to take action when they observed suspicious behavior by their customers.

Let's be clear about a few things. Brokerages do not care about protecting retail investors, they only protect their customers when forced to do so by regulators. What brokerages do is protect themselves from liability, financial losses, and scrutiny. They have no problem screwing over their customers when it suits them. They will raise margin requirements and force customers to take a loss as soon as their risk models say that they should do so. They will restrict trading whenever it looks like there is a scam, simply because it wards off possible investigations into their business.

What they can get in trouble for, and RH did get a slap on the wrists for already, is working against their customers' interests for the benefit of their business partners. One brokerage I could believe, but I doubt that half a dozen would all do it at the same time and with the same securities.
